Dog Walking In North University

About: I have been watching, walking, and working with cats & dogs for over 9 years of my life. - I have a little yorkie at home (I currently don’t live with any pets at my apartment) - I’ve fostered a precious kitten - I’ve been pet-sitting many of my family friends pets for as long as I can remember I am detailed-oriented, attentive, & communicative with all pet-owners. I absolutely love all animals, so please don’t be afraid to reach out! I’m currently on summer break, so I’m not busy with school! (YAY) I have a bunch of time to take pets on walks, watch pets overnight, and check in at (pretty much) any time of day! I currently live at an apartment (smoke free & pet free) by myself. My apartment has a lot of open space, a dog park, and lots of sidewalks and trails to walk on! I am also comfortable with watching pets at their own home.

“Kody was fantastic. I hired him to walk a very energetic 1-year-old retriever twice a day after I broke my shoulder. He was always on time. He was pleasant and helpful, and dealt well with my dog's enthusiastic nature. I recommend him highly and I believe you will enjoy working with him as much as we did. Great guy.”

About: I have been a loving pet owner my whole life. When I moved for college, I adopted a cat - Jessica - who is everything to me. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to take care of their pets like they’re my own. I take online classes, so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies. I can be there early and stay late - whatever is best for you and your pet. I will take special care to ensure all doors are locked upon my exit, animals have water and other accommodations (as described by their owner), and they have used the restroom each visit.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Dogs and cats have been beloved members of my family since I was a child. I have no problem walking in the summer heat! I’m a native Austinite. Most days I enjoy a walk and it would be great to have a fur-baby companion. I have a flexible schedule and many times am available on short notice. I make sure dogs are comfort with me before moving forward. Trust must be built with respect and patience. The response of the animal communicates their level of trust.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I grew up with dogs that were tiny but mighty (very big attitudes). So I am very accepting of dogs of all sizes and personality types. I don’t know if it’s my dog-like personality, but dogs have always taken a liking to me. I have cats as well, so I can offer both services! I am available every weekday after 1pm to check in! I’m a college student, but I have lots of availability. Just tell me your schedule, and I can work my way around it! I will care for your pets as well as I take care of my own. People like to say that my cats are spoiled, but I think they are well loved. I understand that every pet family is different, my care will be personalized to what your pet needs.

“Isa was so great, efficient, and communicative! We enlisted her for a walk and dinner for the first go around and she took a ton of photos and the report card was so thorough we could tell her genuine care from it because she described their personality to a tee! We can't wait to work with her again, Chip and Summer the corgis can't either.”

About: I'm Jae, I am disciplined, reliable, and give attention to detail. Some would say I am a bit of a perfectionists. As a cyclist and a data science student I am not a stranger to these things. As a freelance Data Scientist and researcher, I have a fully flexible schedule that allows me to work from home and build my day around your pet's needs. I prioritize your pet's emotional well-being as much as their physical safety. I only hire sitters who understand Fear Free principles, so I offer the same standard of care to my clients. I understand that a stranger entering a home can be scary for animals, and I use proven methods to alleviate that stress, such as: - Consent-Based Interaction: I never force affection. I let your pet approach me at their own pace and respect their boundaries if they need space.

About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals my entire life, but growing up always had at least 5 dogs and cats in the house! Ive house sat for families with multiple dogs, dogs with special behavioral and health needs, and puppies. I love doing all the silly little things for other peoples fur babies because I am the same way with my dogs! I’m also a foster care provider for Austin Animal Services and have absolutely loved getting to spoil the shelter dogs and get them adopted into fantastic homes. Through this experience I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior and how to make even the shyest dogs comfortable and happy. I’m a senior at UT and have a super flexible schedule in the summer so I’d love to help out with your furry friends! I’m currently just taking one summer class for the next month so my schedule is flexible. I also have my own foster dog currently. If I have a current foster they will be kept separated from client pets per Austin Animal Services policy. The little guy I have right now is awesome but he will hang out at home when I’m with client pets.

“I would highly recommend Abby! She was very responsive and took great care of our pup. We received updates and pictures while we were away which was very much appreciated. It's always hard to leave our dog, but felt she was in good hands with Abby!”

“Sterling was so detailed and thorough while taking care of my pup!”

“My dog loves Hillary. She's prompt. Always in a good mood and my dog comes back ready for a nap. I always look for her name when booking on this app.”

About: Aside from my childhood large mutt and family cats, I cared for my dear Shih Tzu into her elder years, until she passed last winter. I think about and miss her everyday. Im familiar with senior care and the years when food needs to be frozen flat on a lick mat and play consisted mostly of sniffing and sitting. I’m excellent at coming up with stimulating activities and forms of play beyond fetch, but also am a hobbyist speed walker (easier on the knees than jogging!) and I NEED to get my 10k steps in every day. I’m a graduate student at UT Austin, taking the summer to focus on my thesis, which means I’m at home reading and researching and my schedule is my own. I always appreciate when a pet’s routine can jump start my day and am able to adapt to needs as they arise. Unfortunately my apartment is on the second floor so any boarders would either need to be able to climb or be small enough to be carried. My complex has a semi-fenced area and there’s a dog park not too far away. A smoke-free house, all cleaning supplies are kept in closed upper cabinets and trash cans all have lids or are raised.

“Rachel came and helped me very last minute for dog walking when I had long work days! She was very responsive and so easy to work with and my pets are very happy :-)”

About: I have had a pug for 11 years. She is awesome. I also have cared and walkrd a large Rhodesian Ridgback for 3 years. She was high energy so we often went on runs. I am an early riser and often go on walks or runs already. My pug is currently at home in florida while I am in college. I miss my dog and I really want to be around dogs and other animals. I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.

“Jimmy was our first Rover and after only 2 walks, I can’t imagine having any other! He has great situational awareness and communication skills. He even did some research to find out why my pup lays down when another dog approaches. He’s working with her on this which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend you book with Jimmy. He’s so good with my girl, Riley. She loves him!”
